Well, it’s the threat that only Lindsey can hold the seat that will keep GOP voters in line, as was the case in RI in 2006 with Chafee, but Chafee lost.
I have lucked out the past 2 Specter elections because a 3rd party (Constitution, I think) fielded a candidate and I didn’t have to bite the bullet and cast a vote for the Democrat. Well, Specter is still there and threatening to run again, and I’ve made up my mind that in the general I’m going to break my hard, fast rule of never voting Democrat, and vote for his opponent no matter what ninny they run against him. I want him gone that bad, and I will encourage everybody I know to do the same. I think it’s passed the point where it doesn’t matter anymore. Specter is a snake, and if he is beaten by another viper, SO WHAT (as Henry Waxman likes to say)!
